HOUSTON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--PROS®
(NYSE: PRO), the revenue and profit realization company, today announced
it has achieved a “Strong Performer” status in a new report issued from
Forrester Research. The Forrester Wave™: Configure-Price-Quote
Solutions, Q1 2017, written by John Bruno, names PROS as having the
highest score among all participants in the reference customer
assessment, and intelligence and analytics criteria, along with the
highest possible score for Pricing and Subscription Management criteria.

“PROS excels at leveraging first- and third-party
data to provide intelligent recommendations to sellers, and its
customers cite seeing a few percentage points improvement in margin
directly as a result.”

The report discusses several areas that PROS considers as its key
strengths:

PROS received the only score of 5.0 out of a possible 5.0 in the
Reference Customer Assessment criteria: “Customers universally
speak of the vendor’s commitment to customer success, citing that they
feel like they signed up for a strategic partnership rather than a
software license.”

PROS is the only company cited for providing customers with margin
improvements: “PROS excels at leveraging first- and third-party
data to provide intelligent recommendations to sellers, and its
customers cite seeing a few percentage points improvement in margin
directly as a result.”

PROS received the highest score of 4.0 among all companies on
Intelligence and Analytics, which it believes validates its unique
ability to drive the shift to modern commerce through data science:
“Thanks to its long track record of using data to make more informed
decisions, and its unwavering commitment to advance these functions,
PROS is uniquely positioned to lead the market in analytics-driven
recommendations.”

“In the age of the customer, the digital buying experience is driving a
dramatic shift in how companies do business,” said PROS President &
Chief Executive Officer Andres Reiner. “Today’s leaders are evaluating
the best way to provide their customers with the personalized,
frictionless and omnichannel experiences they expect. Powered by
Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and Microsoft Cortana Intelligence,
PROS delivers a modern commerce experience infused with dynamic pricing
science. We believe that our designation as a 'strong performer' in the
Forrester Wave acknowledges that we receive top marks from customers for
helping companies outperform.”

Takeshi Numoto, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Cloud + Enterprise,
Microsoft Corp. said, “We’re excited to have PROS as a partner driving
digital transformation for businesses on Microsoft Azure. Through
solutions like PROS Smart CPQ for Microsoft Dynamics 365, organizations
can accelerate sales and harmonize their customers’ experience across
direct, indirect and ecommerce channels. We are proud to innovate with
